Hello itinerants all over the world and steemit community! I am gratefully writing on this white paper to express my sincere gratitude to the people who have been supporting me since the day I was born on steemit. Actually I am turning one year old in the community yet this coming March however I am writing this in advance for I might not be able to write in the coming days because I am currently in an Island and I am struggling catching internet connection. As I don't want to miss this milestone in my steemit journey, I decided to write it ahead of time. Exactly a year ago, I got invited by my dearest friend Hive account@fernwehninja to join this blogging platform since aside from both of us are really into blogging, we also needed multiple jobs to achieve financial freedom not just for us but for our families. At first, I was really unknowing of the rewards that we were getting. All I just knew was it's simply a blogging platform like any other such as wordpress. I was really innocent and ignorant on how the platform works and I didn't have even a single idea what blockchain is. It only took me 24 hours to get approved and already had my minimal posts. As far as I remember, I was only able to post once a week because I was so busy working with my regular job, which few months later I decided to quit my job.

In my one year of stay in the community as of the moment makes 1048 followers and 1438 posts counting. Let me share to you the things I have ever done in the community. Let's have a major throwback!

I can still remember the time I have introduced my self to the community. It actually took me almost two months before I posted it because I honestly didn't take it seriously that time. I had no idea how wonderful the community was. This was the very first time I felt so welcomed in my life. On my introductory posts, I was fortunate to garner 80 upvotes with 95 comments and an earning of 5.31 dollar. I just honestly didn't know what were these digits for and I didn't think that I already had dollars waiting to be cashed out. Because I am a person who is really into blogging and ever since I always I wanted to make travel blogs, I was able to posts some of my travels and adventures.

I was really unknowing that I was already making money that time with my curated posts by curie up until my friends Hive account@fernwehninja and Hive account@cannabissativa kept on sending me congratulation greetings cause I was able to achieve that far. To be honest, I will keep telling you this, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON! what I was doing I just kept on posting to share my travels and adventures so that I have some memories recorded and I am able to share my experiences to others. Little did I know, I was already making a huge amount of money in the platform.

I can say that it took me months to fully understand the blockchain and the platform, it's true that learning it wasn't as easy as a blink of an eye. I had to learn everything one at a time. I have asked so many people in the platform through chats and comments. I watched so many youtube videos to gain knowledge about cryptocurrency and the blockchain. Eventually when I witnessed the goodness of the people and the community itself, I have decided to create a community called STEEMIT BLOGGERS organize meet-up events to share it to my friends and other people who need it the most. Here's our past meet-up events

I am more than grateful to have met people with the same passion and gained friends from the community. There are so many people to mention but you know guys who you are! The platform has taught me so many things like build my interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, give importance to myself and loved ones, making a difference has no size, never give up on your dreams and learn how to be compassionate and more grateful.

I am forever thankful to be part of the Hive account@steemph.cebu community and met my fellow core leaders who happened to be my closest friends in the community!

I am just more than proud to take part in organizing with our community events and activities. It gives me a real opportunity to make big difference in people's lives. I have overcome my fears by having a chance to take initiatives. I have become more open by trying to see something more than just my perspectives by seeing what the rest of people are doing in each corner of the community.

I just couldn't think of the best way to thank all the people who taken part in my growth in the community! I couldn't reach this far without all your help and support in my works. To sir Terry Hive account@surpassinggoogle ,Hive account@blocktrades , my Hive account@steemph.cebu family, STEEMIT BLOGGERS COORDINATORS and of course to my 1048 followers I just want to say THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES for everything! Rest assured that I will do my best to make more good quality contents and will always bring this wonderful platform wherever I go! Once again, THANK YOU & DEUCES!

Regards,
Hive account@itinerantph
